I think Common sense should apply, After all this was something we all should
know.

The Internet is like learning to drive by being put in the fastlane doing
ninety.
Ok drive.
Having never driven before you could imagine the risk .

So too is our beloved beast the Internet a dangerous place to
navigate without some basics.

DO NOT OPEN ATTACHMENTS FROM EMAILS OR INTERNET SITES
THAT YOU DO NOT PERSONALLY KNOW OR TRUST THROUGH A CERTIFICATE RELATIONSHIP.

This will protect you from 75% of what's out there.

This also applies to word docs, which some people send there resume in.  We
always just delete them.  we do not even bother scanning them.

I would love to go on but this is not the place for the basics in Internet
Security.
Join a news group better suited to that need until your up to speed.
